He needed slightly longer than the minimum 10 days to recover from left triceps soreness. The Dodgers will announce the corresponding move before Friday's 10:10 ET start against the Reds. Avilan has pitched to a 3.00 ERA with a 12.0 K/9 over 23 outings this year. Jun 9 - 7:09 PM

Turner hasn't played since Thursday due to a bruised right thumb. The Dodgers don't seem overly worried about the injury, but with the division locked up and homefield advantage a virtual certainty, they'll exercise caution with their star third baseman. Turner will take some batting practice indoors Monday to test out his thumb and said he hopes to play Tuesday. Logan Forsythe is at third base Monday and Austin Barnes is at second.

Franklin Gutierrez (back) is expected to begin a minor league rehab assignment soon.

The veteran outfielder has been on the disabled list since late June with ankylosing spondylitis, an inflammatory disease that can cause vertebrae in the spine to fuse. Gutierrez will likely spend more than a week playing in minor league games before the Dodgers consider activating him.

Ryu departed his start Saturday after being hit on the left forearm by a comebacker, but the swelling has gone down and he could be ready to start again this weekend. The left-hander will try to throw a bullpen session mid-week to see if he can take the ball over the weekend. If he's not ready, Brandon McCarthy could get a start.

Scott Kazmir (hip) threw three scoreless innings Monday in a minor league rehab game with High-A Rancho Cucamonga.

It was his first game action since July, as he's been dealing with continued issues with his left arm and hip. Kazmir walked two batters and struck out three while throwing 53 pitches. Monday was the regular season finale for Rancho and it's unclear what the next step might be. Kazmir hasn't thrown a pitch in the majors this season.

Nothing has changed in the left-hander's prognosis after undergoing Tommy John surgery this week, this was merely done as a procedural move to free up a spot on the 40-man roster. Dayton is expected to miss the entire 2018 season.

That will end the right-hander's season officially and also clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the return of Brandon McCarthy. Ravin should be healthy and ready to go for the start of spring training.

Adam Liberatore (forearm) began a rehab assignment with the Dodgers' Arizona League affiliate on Thursday, throwing a scoreless inning.

It's his first game action in nearly three months. Liberatore has been plagued by a few injuries this season, with the most recent one being left forearm tightness. He's hoping to contribute in September.
